The Brauer group of a commutative ring is an important invariant of a commutative ring, a common journeyman to the group of units and the Picard group. Burnside rings of finite groups play an important role in representation theory, and…
We construct an equivariant algebraic cobordism theory for schemes with an action by a linear algebraic group over a field of characteristic zero.
After we have given a survey on the Burnside ring of a finite group, we discuss and analyze various extensions of this notion to infinite (discrete) groups. The first three are the finite-G-set-version, the inverse-limit-version and the…
We study linearizability of actions of finite groups on singular cubic threefolds, using cohomological tools, intermediate Jacobians, Burnside invariants, and the equivariant Minimal Model Program.
In this paper we study birational Kleinian groups, i.e.\ groups of birational transformations of complex projective varieties acting in a free, properly discontinuous and cocompact way on an open set of the variety with respect to the usual…
We describe a new class of groups of Burnside type, giving a procedure transforming an arbitrary non-free minimal action of the dihedral group on a Cantor set into an orbit-equivalent action of an infinite finitely generated periodic group.…
We construct invariants of birational maps with values in the Kontsevich--Tschinkel group and in the truncated Grothendieck groups of varieties. These invariants are morphisms of groupoids and are well-suited to investigating the structure…
We study combinatorial properties of the alternating subgroup of a Coxeter group, using a presentation of it due to Bourbaki.
The equivariant with respect to a finite group action Poincar\'e series of a collection of $r$ valuations was defined earlier as a power series in $r$ variables with the coefficients from a modification of the Burnside ring of the group.…
In this paper the algebra of invariants for the adjoint action of the unitriangular group in the nilradical of a parabolic subalgebra is studied. We prove that the algebra of invariants is finitely generated.
Equivariant versions of the radial index and of the GSV-index of a vector field or a 1-form on a singular variety with an action of a finite group are defined. They have values in the Burnside ring of the group. Poincar\'e-Hopf type…
In this article we study the structure of highest weight modules for quantum groups defined over a commutative ring with particular emphasis on the structure theory for invariant bilinear forms on these modules.
This is a survey on the automorphism groups in various classes of affine algebraic surfaces and the algebraic group actions on such surfaces. Being infinite-dimensional, these automorphism groups share some important features of algebraic…
In this note we present a combinatorial link invariant that underlies some recent stable homotopy refinements of Khovanov homology of links. The invariant takes the form of a functor between two combinatorial 2-categories, modulo a notion…
We develop a theory of Burnside rings in the context of birational equivalences of algebraic varieties equipped with logarithmic volume forms. We introduce a residue homomorphism and construct an additive invariant of birational morphisms.…
In this thesis we investigate invariant transversals in finite groups by studying the connection between right conjugacy closed loops and finite groups. The interplay between loop theory and group theory has prompted discoveries in both…
In this short review we introduce group field theory, a particular class of random tensor models, which represents nowadays one of the candidates for a fundamental theory of quantum gravity. We insist on the combinatorial richness of…
Let $V, W$ be finite-dimensional orthogonal representations of a finite group $G$. The equivariant degree with values in the Burnside ring of $G$ has been studied extensively by many authors. We present a short proof of the degree product…
In this paper the field of invariants for the adjoint action of the Borel group in the nilradical of a parabolic subalgebra is studied. We construct the set of B-invariant rational functions generating the field of invariants.
Given an action of an affine algebraic group with only trivial characters on a factorial variety, we ask for categorical quotients. We characterize existence in the category of algebraic varieties. Moreover, allowing constructible sets as…
